Can we stop with all this bullshit of calling gypsies "Roma", "Romanies", "Romanit", etc.? I don't want to see Romans and Rome associated with that shit. When I hear "Roma" I think of testudo formations, not "pls gib moni pls".
Greece wouldn't even let FYROM have the name "Macedonia", why are we letting these fuckers trample on history?
They've been called Romani for over 1000 years. Stop getting spooked by homonyms.
Connor Diaz
No they haven't. Source? They've been calling it that long since Soros's rebranding.
They've been called different variations of "tsiganes" and "gypsies", here they call them "mustalainen" ("black people").
Luke Hill
Those are words that were put on them by others, they didn't chose to be called those things. They see being called a Gypsy the equivalent of calling black people Nigger.
Oh noez. Why don't we start calling Germans "Deutsche" and Finns "Suomians" then you imbecile.
No they don't. I have literally seen them refer to themselves as "mustalainen" and "tsigan", I have never ever seen a gypsy use the term "roma".
Nathaniel Cooper
Where's that bullshit about "over 1000 years" on that Wiki article?
lmao

'German' and 'Finn' are not insults you bloody drongo. Probably because they want to fit in, or they don't want to confuse you (which wouldn't be too difficult).
It literally says that 'Rom' comes from their language, you flaming galah.
Gavin Reed
So "gypsy" is an insult? What does that say about gypsies, then?
"Probably because they want to fit in"
They were speaking amongst each other, no outside force introduced the term in the situations I've observed. They weren't calling each other "my gypsy" like you see blacks doing with "my nigga" but they were referring to themselves.
So? Where does it say they were calling themselves that for 1000 years? And why should I care? They're denigrating other things by association, only because Soros wants to ruin the image of those things.

India is called Bharata in their tongue, are you going to start calling Indians Bharatans now?

"Roma" doesn't have anything to do etymologically with the empire or city of Rome, you absolute sperglord.

wrong board fucktard
Benjamin Price
Can we stop with all this bullshit of calling Indians "Native Americans", "Indiginous Americans", "Aboriginal Peoples", etc.? I don't want to see Americans and America associated with that shit. When I hear "America" I think of freedom fries, not "pls gib casino pls".
Brayden Smith
Can we stop with all this bullshit of calling cumskins white? I don't want angels and yoghurt associated with that shit. When I hear "white" I think of a nice bowl of fresh yoghurt with strawberries on top, not "jews are oppressing me".

Joseph Williams
It doesn't say anything about them. People are just used to using the term and probably don't know the history of the Romani that it doesn't cross their mind as to what to call them.
So? They've probably been assimilating and are just using terms that everyone else uses because they can't be fucked having to explain it to mongs like you.
Where's your evidence that this is a recent development?
By your logic, you are denigrating the ancient and proud civilisation of Egypt by calling them Gypsies.
In India they do. India is the western name for the country.
James Murphy
the funny thing is that "roma" isn't etymologically connected to Rome, but "gypsy" refers to their falsely attributed Egyptian descent
Andrew Russell
oh lawdy
Asher Morgan
But white people do look like angels compared to shitskins.

Most Romanis are sedentary. In Southern France, they even tend to vote for right-wing, anti-immigrant parties if you can believe it.
Elijah Reed
What, by sullying the name of Rome? Fuck your "history" and fuck the Romans. Go to your retard board if you want to deep throat Rome.
John Turner
As in they beg at the same spot all the time?
If they're "sedentary" why the fuck do I see them all over western Europe when they clearly came from the eastern part?
Josiah Diaz
Back to Zig Forums.
Gabriel White
And gypsy is the English name for the people.
Call them "tsiganes" then! English already has enough loanwords from French. It's pretty safe to say though that at this point, "gypsy" has very little to do with "Egyptians" and no one would confuse the two. "Roma" and "Rome", "Romans", "Romanians" and so on, which are actually relevant in our times with the EU…
Matthew Rivera
Because you're a shithead
Bentley Cook
That's like saying 'nigger' is the English word for black people.
Romans don't exist anymore, who's going to confuse the two? Why aren't you getting triggered by the Romanians naming themselves after the Romans? Are you such a spastic that three homonyms are too much for you to handle? youtube.com/watch?v=7_r1uk6Fkd0
Jace Wood
They're subhumans who need to be gassed. It's true.
Ayden Bell
As in many of them settled all over Europe and stopped traveling decades if not centuries ago. Roma nomads have been in the minority for quite a while. What the fuck is that even supposed to mean? Are French Arabs somehow nomadic now because they or their parents came from the Maghreb?

I posted in this thread last night and my post (and the two others that were there). Were gone this morning. Is it possible for someone other than a mod/volunteer to remove posts?
